GROWING LEADERS
Empowering Children & Youth to Rise, Run, and Roar with Their Lives
how We Do it
God has stirred our hearts for kids who feel unseen, unloved, and without purpose. That’s why, for the past 20 years, Orchard Ministries has walked alongside children and youth in Zambia and the U.S., helping them grow into bold, purpose-filled leaders.
Through our weekly programs and the I Am Lion journey, young people discover their identity, build resilience, and learn to lead with Courage, Character, and Compassion.
As we nurture these young “lions,” we watch them overcome challenges, embrace bold risks, and step into their God-given mission. And with your partnership, they can ROAR even louder!
here is why our mission is focused where it is.
Orchard Ministries began with a calling/ mandate to go into the world and make disciples. We LOVE empowering children and youth to live boldly for God. When we moved to Zambia as missionaries, our home church, Heart For The World, already had important partners in Zambia. From that starting place, Orchard Ministries was born and has grown into a powerful ministry that raises up young leaders.
Zambia remains at the heart of our mission because it’s where God opened the door for us to build community, provide daily meals, and walk with children through discipleship and leadership training. Today we are nurturing lion leaders who now inspire others both in Zambia and in the U.S.
COURAGE CHARACTER COMPASSION
We exist to empower the next generation of leaders to become all they were created to be. We are on a MISSION to build powerful LION leaders that lead their peers and family today.
MISSION
We SEE thousands of young people in the nations rising up with COURAGE, running with PURPOSE, and confidently ROARING LOUD with their God-given lives!
VISION
All proceeds go towards fulfilling The Great Commission in Zambia and the U.S. and spreading his love to the next generation of believers.

TESTIMONIES…
“Orchard Ministries has given me a family. I have learned so much in the Young Lion Program.”
Maxwell Kangwa
“I really appreciate Orchard Ministries. I was in the middle of big problems when they found me and helped me.”
James Kamusaki
“We are deeply grateful for sending the young lions to our 2024 Youth Retreat in Chipata. We truly appreciate the effort you made to send them to us. Their participation added a profound sense of teamwork and purpose to our gathering, and we were blessed by the energy they brought. Jack, Nehemiah, and Joseph helped the retreat to be very exciting! Their enthusiasm, energy, and dedication was truly inspiring. The Lions did not only participate in the retreat but also they stepped up to coordinate the sports activities and devotions. Their leadership and teamwork set the tone for a weekend full of fun and personal growth. The spirit they brought to each game and activity helped create an environment where everyone felt included and encouraged to give their best. The way they took charge of the sports activities was nothing short of remarkable!”
